Extremely glad to here this is working for people. Sounds like it's becoming a real possibility. Hopefully by the full iPhone 2.0 release there will be several well polished options.
If video can become a standard feature on the iphone we're only about 3 years from it twitter vlogging can truely become common place on most cell phones. Then it's onto developing worlds. Five to ten years time and everyone will have the power of yesterday's tv station in their hands. While basic digital cameras are already changing things having near instant upload with always on / pervasively connected cameras has a few more interesting ramifications. Today twitter saves a guy from jail in egypt, maybe tomorrow we'll see it happen. So, N95 works for a very select few, the iphone may bring it more maintream (still in progress), anything device with the EyeFi (haven't heard / nor seen many talking about this though). Is anything else getting there I'm missing? Some Nikon's have wifi but I'm not hearing much about them being used in this way. We're progressing well beyond the silly video phones that could do 15 - 30 seconds at 8fps and 120x60. It's not about fidelity though, it's about ease of use and ubiquity. -Mike mmeiser.com/blog On Mon, Apr 28, 2008 at 7:08 PM, Michael Verdi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey Schlomo, > Add this source to the installer app - > http://www.iphone-recorder.com/install2 and then you see the thing to > install. > The unregistered version can record up to 30sec at a time. > The paid version will supposedly record as long as you have disc space > left on your phone.
